"just wasn't mant to be"  LOL!!

I use ES2 9 and Acrobat 9.  I know I had no luck with it when I was trying to open a non-PDF, but when it was a PDF it works everytime. I believe this should work in 8.2, although I have seen posts of users complaining that in Readr 9 and X openDoc is a little flaky.

Do you have sample code loaded when 8.2 loaded?  Might be in the Adobe\Live Cycle Designer\EN\Samples\Form Snippets directory.  For 9 there is a form snippet names "LaunchApp.xdp" that contains the code for opening a PDF.  I think this is all XML material so might be a bit different in 8.2.

Have you tried opening a different PDF?  I would try a simple path to a local PDF.  There may be something in that PDF that is hanging this as well.
